What Alien Threat?

Isnt this the film Apocalypto? If so surely the bad guys coming behind the refugees will want to do some very evil things to the Terrans. Probably involving some kind of biological experimentation. Further developments will probably include a spurious escape from imprisonment, a long chase through the galaxy whilst picking off the baddies one by one Rambo style, before finally the remaining bad guys get distracted by the much larger worlds of the Imperium and leave the Terrans alone.


Not sure which film you're talking about. I looked "Apocalypto" up... it's a film about Mayans. (:))
 
Thanks! I've spotted that and amended it... :) THanks again.

Another comment, if I may: Mizar's starport is only a type E. Surely it cannot be the subsector capital, with lots of type A's in the Ursa Major Confederation? And if it isn't, why is the subsector called Mizar?
 
Hi,

I'm working on a new subsector-sized MTU, just a small isolated human federation. I want the federation to have a decent military and navy, but I don't want another subsector of UPPs and another human culture to detail, I want to lavish my creative energies on this federation.

But, do you have any ideas what kind of threat they could be facing?
Space herpes pandemic!

They spawn by the thousands, replicating exponentially and despite seemingly successful attempts to eradicate - including genetic sterilization - they keep showing back up! There seems to be one prime carrier in the federation... a single vector spreading the vermin from system to system... a target for all the federation's resources...

One ship...
:devil:

Don’t worry Bytepro, the crew of the Imperial Battleship Penicillin is on the case. They’ll track down that ship and destroy it! :)
 
Ape-bots. Ape-bots with atomic blaster eye-beams.

Why exactly they'd need our fainting, cigarette-smoking, hour-glass shaped, beehive and horn-rimmed glasses wearing, domestic-focused women is beyond me, but they need them.

:devil:

I think I saw that movie with a pair of old fashioned blue-n-red 3D glasses. Someone pass the popcorn! :)

:rofl:
Indeed! Though the OP's setting is not OTU... hmm... so maybe the federated systems' Pandemic Military Sterilizer (er, PMS)...
 
Let me guess... your PC's? :) :devil:
Oh - no, no... they are actually on the trail of the ship. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket (Mercs anyone?)! They have been hired to follow and ascertain whether the Verifiable Delusion is the carrier of the interstellar space herpes.

And they must have the right ship - every system they track it to has an outbreak! :devil:
 
Ah, it's here :)

Did you upload it at a different address? The link you gave still shows the version without Quandry's starport.

That's better :). So what's the capital of the Confederation and/or the subsector, and what are the world governments etc. like (they aren't listed - they could all be D's and E's or all 2's and 4's, for all we know...)? (I mean, could you give us a write-up of sorts?)
 
--------------------------
In essence, version 1 is a combination of AE Voigts' Rull and Lovecraft's Yuggoth....

I think I like the lower illustration best

The lower illustration doesn't appear to have comen through... (the one I can see is an insect with many yellow eyes)
 
I've uploaded my little campaign book to my website, you can find it here: http://www.weebly.com/uploads/3/4/3/3/3433372/ursa-major.pdf

I've not played in it yet though!! I would have expanded it with a chapter on star travel and another on character creation.

At one point in the Introduction it says the subsector is called Mirfak, and also in the ABCD table and Yuggoth write-up, but the data says Mizar. The alien species names "yuggoth" and "gaugamelan" haven't been capitalised at the point they are first mentioned.
It's quite good though.
